Most viewed sites all time
These are the sites with the most all time views (as on November 9):
1. Bill and Elisabeth Charge, UK Shell garden 6192
2. Robert Garcet, Belgium Tour Eben-Ezer 5300
3. Jose Maria Garrido, Spain Shell decorated interior 4800
4. Joseph Ferdinand Cheval, France Palais Idéal 4489

9. Francisco Grajera, Spain Decorated house 3594
10. Joseph Pujiula i Vila, Spain Labyrinth 3447
The first place for Bill and Elisabeth Charge has to do with a one time event. End October 2016 the husband of a granddaughter of Bill and Elisabeth posted a message on the Watford Memories and History page on Facebook, asking -with a link to the relevant post in this blog- if anyone remembered the decorated garden. Thousands of people did remember the site and this resulted in over 5000 hits of the post in a few days time, which meanwhile has grown to over 6000.
For the rest, the top ten includes the same set of names as in previous yeas, with Robert Garcet from Belgium. Facteur Cheval, Robert Tatin, Bodan Litnianski, Abbé Fouré and Chomo from France and José Maria Garrido, Francisco Grajera and Joseph Pujiula from Spain ¹.
On 11-14 the same artists as in 2017 appear: Erich Bödeker (Sculpture garden, 3366) from Germany, Karl Junker (Decorated interior, 3359) also from Germany. Willem van Genk (Arnhem bus station, 3151) from the Netherlands and Jean-Daniel Allanche (Decorated interior, 3074) from France.
Julius Klingebiel (Decorated hospital room, 3050) from Germany is now on 15, Stephen Wright (House of dreams, 3119, England) is on 16 and Raymond Isidore, also known as Picassiette (Mosaic Picassiette, 2958, France) on 17.
The other most viewed posts in 2017 include Robert Vasseur (Mosaic decorated house, garden, 2937,France) on 18, José García Martin (Sculpture garden, 2933, Spain) on 19 and Viktor IV (=Walter Karl Glück) (Floating structures, 2763, Netherlands) on 20.
Eastern Europe and Russia
The past three to four years I have focused my attention on searching art environments in Eastern Europe and Russia west of the Urals. which until November 2018 delivered some 65 sites, including some 35 located in Russia.
These are the sites with all time views above 1400 (as on November 9):
Eastern Europe
Bogdan Ziętek, Interior with sculptures, Poland, 2320
Václav Levý, Sculpted rocks, Czech Republic, 2250
František Rint, Sedlec Ossuary, Czech Republic, 2247
Stanislav Sartsevich, Sculpture garden, Ukraine, 2109
Nicolas Golovan, Decorated house, Ukraine, 2049
Boguslawa Iwaneskiego, Sculpture garden, Poland, 1655
Felicja Curylova, Decorated house, Poland, 1639
Russia
Alexander Emelyanov, Architectures, sculptures, 2125
Alexander Ladogina, Singular architecture, 2002
Pjotr Zhurilenko, Sculpture garden, 1653
Sergey Kirillov, Decorated house, 1651
Yevgeny Malakhin (=Bukashkin), Frescoe decorated walls, 1512
Creating art environments is not kind of a competition of course, so above listings are just meant to give an idea of the focus of the visitors who visit this blog.
Pages
This weblog includes a number of pages (a general introduction, a time line, referrals to books, expositions and museums). In 2017 the all time most viewed pages were the index of sites by region/countries (in 2017 some 10900 views) and the index of sites by name of artist (in 2017 some 5500). Recently I have revised these two indexes, creating new pages and deleting the former ones, so the data of all time visitors got lost. But it is obvious these pages are used a lot.
note
¹ In 2017 I added the number of visitors to posts about books, expos and other happenings with regard to Cheval and Fouré to the number of visitors of the main post about life and work of these artists. This year I only counted the number of visitors to the main post, which has affected the current order, but not the entry in the top ten. Info about books etc now is published on the Facebook page Outsider Art Environments Europe
